Faking Runs, AI with Feelings, and the Creepy Accuracy of Orwell’s 1984

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at “Fake My Run,” a movement using fake GPS routes to call out fitness culture and vanity metrics. Then we explored how large language models appear to replicate cognitive dissonance—are they glitching, or just becoming more human? Finally, we reflected on how George Orwell’s 1984 feels more like a news report than a novel these days.

Today's unpopular opinion was: "Intelligence is a skill, not something you're born with."

In the show's second half, we asked 100 humans to name something you are taught, not born with.
